I had three beers there. Marzen (original dark rauch) was fantastic draft. Even nicer was Krausen, which was basically a light helles krausened with the marzen , gave it a nice ruby color and pleasant smokiness. The Grodziskie was neither very smoky nor sour, was quite watery and overcarbonated.

I’d like to pre-order an e-book

Tried it in Bamberg a few days ago. Not much to write home about.

Lovely article. I happen to have samples of (almost) all of the new hops varieties and I love my ales (especially milds) brewed with ceres, eris and mimosa.
